But it is something to consider. The smaller the fan, the more likely it has some annoying pitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut there is good news. If you set the fan to only come on at 80°C, then it seems to only have to run for 30 to 60 seconds every three to five minutes if the Pi is under constant one hundred percent load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt cools it down to around 70 degrees, then shuts off until the Pi hits 80 degrees again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a reliable enough compromise that I'd recommend it to anyone using the official case. But if the Pi Foundation plans on making a similar case for the next Raspberry Pi, I hope they consider the thermals in the case design itself, and either build a passive heat sink into the case like the Flirc, or build a fan into the design of the case itself, instead of as an addon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConclusion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you already use the official Pi 4 case, then for five bucks, the Case Fan isn't a bad deal.
